For an alternative Ibuprofen, you still have Advil and generic. I know some Targets carry a generic dye free liquid.

This website has info on all the drugs associated with the recall. http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/

 

I'm a bit nervous because we just finished our monthly IVIG and did round the clock ibuprofen and Benadryl. Of course I ran out during this time and just purcahsed 7 more bottles on Thursday. I will have to read this closely.

 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention

Thanks for adding that mcneil link. So it looks like it's just certain lots of pills and chewables, right? Not the liquid?

interesting... my DD dumped an entire bottle of liquid mortin on the floor last week during a rage/tantrum (and rolled around it - another story) ... and then today when I tried to give her a med cup of mortin she begged for an advil pill (that is what I give her brother sometimes.... maybe he ha ESP too

 

but on a more serious note I will be staying away from the motrin for awhile.... thanks for information!

Thanks for posting this - I discovered that a bottle of chewable motrin I have is part of the recall. I also question if the bottle the school nurse has for my older daughter's migraines is part of the recall and will check on that next week!
